Urban Beauty of the Week is Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell owns the Pucci runway at Milan Fashion Week

Good evening my urban beauties. Hope you are all having a fabulous week. This week my urban beauty of the week is Ms Naomi Campbell. A fresh faced Naomi Campbell looked incredible on the Pucci runway at Milan Fashion Week.

5 reasons why Naomi is my urban beauty of the week:-

1. She's still going strong - Naomi is not only 25 years older than most of the girls appearing on the Pucci runway alongside her, but its great to see her name in the media for good reasons. Check out some tweets below about her Pucci runway walk:-

2. One of the originals - She's declared all over the world as one of the five original "super models" from the late 80s early 90s who paved the way for many young models of colour.

3. Been in the game for over two decades - See you have models and then you have Naomi Campbell, this lady has been slaying the catwalk for nearly 30 years... how can you not respect that

4. She's a straight talker - Naomi Campbell has always been outspoken against the racial bias that exists in the fashion industry. In 2013, Campbell joined fellow black models Iman and Bethann Hardison in an advocacy group called "Diversity Coalition". You can read more about this group in my previous post.

5. She helps people - Naomi has set up various charities over the years to raise money for good causes such as Fashion for Relief, which has organised fund-raising fashion shows to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina

urban beauty said.... I look forward to seeing Naomi grace the catwalk for another 2 more decades.
